How we write our reviews
Short version: every price and feature is checked on the source before it goes on the page, we tell you when we can't verify something first-hand, and we're honest that AI helps us write faster. Here's the full picture.
Do you use AI to write these reviews?
Yes, openly. Our reviews are researched and drafted with AI assistance (Claude, by Anthropic). Every fact is checked against an official source before it's written down, and every page goes through human review before publishing — the ToolTrendIQ team holds editorial responsibility for what you read here. We'd rather tell you this plainly than have you find out and wonder what else we didn't mention.
How do you verify pricing and features?
Directly on each company's own pricing page, and we note the month we checked. Prices change, so treat the date on each review as its "last verified" stamp — if it's been a while, the vendor's site is always the final word. When we can't verify something first-hand (it happened once, for Midjourney, whose pricing sits behind a login), we say so on the page itself instead of quietly guessing.
Are you sponsored by any of the tools you review?
No. Nothing on this site is sponsored, and we don't use affiliate or paid links today. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed clearly on the page where it happens — not buried in a footer somewhere.
Do you use vendors' logos or screenshots?
No — every page on this site is text-only branding, and every review carries a trademark disclaimer for the tool it covers. We'd rather describe a product well than borrow its visuals.
Found a mistake, or a price that's changed?
Tell us: tooltrendiq@gmail.com. We'd rather fix an outdated number today than leave it wrong for someone else tomorrow.
Our editorial principles, in short
- Every claim traces back to a source you could check yourself — and we link to it.
- We say what we don't know instead of filling the gap with a guess.
- No purchased traffic, no fake reviews, no manipulated rankings.
